is this heating pad good for chinchilla, which don't like the temperature over 80

100 Fahrenheit is 37.8 Celsius -- less than 1 degree C above human body temperature. While that would make for an uncomfortably warm room, it is not an overly warm surface in a cooler environment. If the chinchilla would be okay sitting on your lap for an extended time (it would be), my guess is that it would be fine with this pad.

This pad will do what you want. As long as it is plugged in it stays on. Only uses 6 watts. It doesn't feel warm when you feel it but when the pet lays on it the heat comes from the weight of the pet laying on it. My cat only weighs 3.5 lbs and when she gets up I can feel the warmth from where she was laying...she loves it!

Rick, I didn't buy this particular mattress pad. I did buy two, twin size Beautyrest "Luxury Heated Mattress Pads". These seem to work very well. Toasty bed after a ten minute warm up. They have a button for quick heat, kind of like afterburner mode for a jet fighter. I have had these for two months so I can't speak to the issue of longivity. I also had very bad luck with Sunbeam products. I bought two twin electric blankets and they were not good out of the box and didn't last for the cold season.

I originally bought the unheated version. I put an old baby blanket in the bottom for comfort and my semi-feral cat took to it immediately. I was hoping she would decide to come indoors as the weather got colder, but no such luck so far so I've since added the heated pad. That means I have to move it to a table on the back porch each night so I can plug it in. I also have a problem with raccoons at night so it works out for that issue too.

I don't know because I returned the heating pad after it stopped getting warm enough to help after several uses.

Denise, my understanding on how this one works is that it is somewhat pressure sensitive, so not sure heat will be felt if a pet is not sitting on it. When I worked in bird rescue and we would use regular heating pads (on low) under the cage, but those were cages that sat on a table. You use a towel as cushion. The K&H one that I have, also goes to a temp that is for felines and dog body temp. I have a cockatiel, and years ago, I bought one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Vktech-Snuggle-Hammock-Hanging-Hideaway/dp/B00C8O6690/ref=sr_1_4?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1385576083&sr=1-4&keywords=bird+cozy in a local pet store. He ignored it for many years, and now all of a sudden he loves it. Totally naps in it. He is 12 years old.

this is the best heating pad i used. it's is moist heating pad and with very pretty warm temperature (highest can be 167F, but you cvan ajust it lower). can be ajusted the time most to 60 mins and restart again for the next 60 mins. and the weight is just right on body,not too light to move away, not too heavy to press on you. is this enough for your question ?

This has a very plush pad, but I cannot recommend it because it melted in the dryer the first time that we washed it. We were very careful and used the lowest heat setting, so unless you plan to air dry it, I would probably try the other choice.

It's only for dry heat, but it's gentle heat. It's the best heating pad I've found.

My wife never has used this heating pad in a moist way. Sorry. Some heating pads have a foam pad you can wet and apply to the pad and it then provides moist heat. This pad does not have one of those pads, however. Best Regards, Rick

It doesn't get hot like a heating pad you may have for yourself. It doesn't really seem warm at all when you feel with your hand, but if you leave your hand there a few minutes, you can feel the heat easily. My cat loves it! I also ordered another one for my 3 lb. maltese...she loves it as well. This winter was the first time I'd ever seen her stretch out and sleep, she was always curled up with her nose tucked. It's clearly doing the job and we love it. My cat sleeps on the top when it gets too warm for her, my dog just stretches out the floor.

Yes. You can also use a low heat pad in colder temperature. Some of soft blanket for them to huddle together to build up their own body heat. Just like you under a blanket. Thanks for taking care of the little ones

I returned it. I wouldn't recommend it. If you are looking for a heating pad - go with the original . There is also a "shawl" size heating pad that is nice - its kinda like a blanket.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

I personally would not. The reason is that the rabbit loves to eat the mats and the mat only lasted at best 2 or 3 days. She had it shredded and it was everywhere for me to sweep up. Another reason is that it is a dry substance and you wouldn't want to start a fire. I am not familiar with heating pads for rabbits or other animals but I myself would not temp fate. I can tell you my rabbit had more fun ripping this apart and eating it than anything else I've given her. Hope this helps.

I am using one right now but it is under a nest box to keep the young in the nest warm. If you were to use it just on a cage floor you might want to watch closely to see that the rabbit didn't chew on it. I have not heard any pad owners say they chew on it just one did chew the coating off the metal ring that protects the cord.

There is a small hole a few inches from the bottom of the Kitty Tube. If your heating pad has a detachable plug with a small end (like a cell phone) it will work. I use a microwaveable disc I bought on Amazon and it works great. I heat it up, put it in the tube under the cusion, and it stays warm over 10 hours.
